Description This is Major Tom to Ground Control. I'm stepping through the door and I'm floating in a most peculiar way. The stars look very different today. For here am I, sitting in a tin can far above the world; planet Earth is blue... and there is nothing I can do.

Yessssss!

I'm so happy that this was made!

But I would have pictured the Voyager 2 as a woman.

Did you do the Pioneer 10?

okay it's not the avatar - it's the video picture but it's an altered version - only the spaceman is the same

A big thanks to Bowie for his great music and to You for making a wonderful piece inspired by it.

This reminds me of Space Odyssey somehow, you know. Probably because of Your great space-depicting style.

Both of your "Voyager" pieces are great, I just happened to be listening to Space Oddity when I clicked through to this one and by chance the song had literally just got to the part with the lyrics in the description.

Weird, huh?
